LOL, you mean the column I have hidden.

Maybe add it to the bottom of the page (next to the Forum Rules - Mark All Read) for others looking for it that have the column hidden.
Or maybe in the top bar (between Forum Help and Pennzoil Synthetics)?

I like the Zen spacing, the red gray takes up too much space, causing much more scrolling.

With the Zen spacing, I see twice the number of threads on a page without scrolling.

I, for one, don't like it because all the thread titles are jammed together, and it just looks bad. These old eyes just can't handle it.

If that's the thread title spacing intended for all of the UBB themes, then I guess I am stuck with Red Gray, or the Ventura themes because the thread title spacing is spot on for me.

Wayne, here's screenshots from my iPhone and iPad. Absolutely perfect!

Yep, I just noticed this and rechecked myself. I was having to resize between the main window and the threads.

Thanks greatly.

It's sizing well for me on Firefox both on Linux and Windows, for those interested. I've got widescreen monitors both places, and the space is properly used.

Thanks Wayne! I appreciate that you were able to fix that left column!

I don't know if it's been brought up but the breadcrumbs are wacky.

You can't easily get back to the "Lubrication and General Automotive" level.

Something is converting what used to be an apostrophe (and perhaps quotation marks) into a question mark in a diamond - that is a bit annoying.

Otherwise it is growing on me - I still miss the old red/white/blue I keep going back and forth between the dark and the lime.

Thank you for being so response to the fixes I'm sure its a TON of work and there will always be a punch list with any new thing...

That doesn't happen in every case, so I think it's dependent on what device the post was made on. It might be coming from certain types of cell phones, and the board software doesn't recognize the apostrophe character. I uses some apostrophes in this post from a desktop, and I bet they will show up fine.
 
I'm sending this post by cell phone (Android). And I just looked at the post with the desktop and the apostrophe in "I'm" came through fine.
 
Certain developers need to be made to memorise the ASCII table and have their knuckles cracked with a yardstick when they overuse items above 126 or below 32. Yes, the ordinary apostrophe, ASCII decimal 39 ' will show up just fine.
 
It happened to some of my threads... I don't believe I have ever created a thread from my phone so it would have been my MAC.

The very same one I am typing this on.

Apostrophe's and "quotations" seem to work fine now and they worked fine on the post they no longer work fine on now before the software upgrade...
